Hi all
I have a question, might sound stupid but it's still a question! What does one use for RecNo! Do you have to generate one, or is it within the datafile!
Thanks as you reply!

If you open the file with TextPad, you will see that the record number is not in the file. I am just assigning a "temporary" record number at run time based on position. The 1st record is 0, and so on. Even though you can't directly access them, in my implementation, deleted records get a record number too, which are not really deleted, just marked as invalid, count as a record. So if record 2 is valid, then the next record is invalid, followed by a valid number, the record number for the next valid record is 4.
